Durango Boot RD510 11
Sturdy, Tough Boot
February 27, 2013
Reviewer: Chocominties from Hawaii
I had a pair of western-style slouch boots that were in desperate need of repair. I had to make a decision of whether I wanted to spend the cash to repair them or replace them all together, so I went looking to see if it was worthwhile to just replace them with a brand new boot.I don't own a car, so my shoes need to hold up to lots of walking around. I purchased these with that in mind, since they're boots designed for moving around and not just looking good.Normally I wear a 7.5, but I'd heard that these ran a little big. There was no 7.5 in stock, so I took my chances with the 7. I'm glad I did. The size is absolutely perfect. I have normal-narrow feet, so the width was excellent for me. I also have small calves, so the smaller circumference of the opening was really ideal for me. As far as walking, the shoes are very comfortable, but the shafts are so stiff that they rub against my shins in a slightly painful way. I'm hoping that over time this will stop happening, like it did with the pair I replaced. I assume this is because the leather is so stiff and firm and just needs to soften up.I'm not doing anything more hardcore than walking in these, so I'm not sure what all they can handle. They do hold up well to rain, which is nice here in the tropics. They are pretty stiff in the sole, so don't try to run too hard in these.

I love, love, love the look of this boot. My only disappointment is that it is sized small. I wear an 8, but I need an 8.5 to wear this boot comfortably.

Nice boot, feels a little big
February 10, 2013
Reviewer: Dale from Reno, NV
This is a great boot. It wears nicely, no rubbing on the feet, but it does feel a half size too big. I wear a 16 so I was suprised to find it larger rather than smaller (a nice suprise). They are very comfortable for extended wear and the soles have a nice tread so they are acceptable during winter months.

Makes wifes feet look smaller
January 21, 2013
Reviewer: Frank from So Cal
My wife really likes this boot. She says it makes her feet look small, which she likes. Shaft appears to be man-made material, and lining is cloth - Shoebuy should specify. Still, a good looking shoe.

The leather is much softer than I expected. No break in period was needed; they are comfortable from the first wear!
